Musical Youth

On Friday, I went to visit my Godparents, Nic and Jon who live in Enfield.  We were meant to meet them last weekend in Cambridge you may recall.  Nic and Jon are going to be moving abroad soon, probably to Nepal to work for the Baptist Missionary Society for a couple of years.  I’m going to miss them big time because they’re well cool.  Hopefully we might be able to go out to Nepal to visit them once they have settled in. 

Nic’s friend Caz also came to stay with her and we all had a great time fooling around and playing musical instruments.   

As you can see Nic needed a little help holding the French Horn.  It seems to keep her hands warm though.  Caz was playing the guitar in the background and daddy had the triangle, which he still managed to play out of tune. 

On Saturday, Caz surprised me by giving me a new copy of Surprising which is my favourite CD.  Caz is a very good friend of Gerry, who is my favourite singer of all time.  You may remember that some time ago I told you that I’d played the CD so many times that the Jesus song kept jumping.  Caz read my blog, heard my plea and delivered the goods.  I am very grateful for her generosity and for giving me back my Jesus song.  I should mention that I am rather strapped for cash at the moment if anyone happens to have some lying around.

One of the reasons for visiting Nic and Jon was because on Saturday there was an open day for Mill Grove which is where Jon’s parents run a home for children and families in need of respite care (so I’m told).  Jon grew up there himself.  There was a service of thanksgiving in the afternoon (which Daddy sneaked out of to find a TV – it was the FA Cup Final after all) which is attended faithfully by people who grew up at Mill Grove when they were children – some as early as the 1930s. Although the service was a little long, Daddy assured us that it must have been better than the football match.

Personally I thought the food was excellent but daddy clearly wasn’t satisfied and had to find other things around the house to eat, something that I found quite insulting to our guests.   

We had a lovely weekend and thanks to Nic and Jon for their hospitality.  Oh, one other thing before signing off.  Auntie Nic was particularly keen for me to post a picture of her on her hen night.  Enjoy.

 

Mummy spent hours making the hen costume which she tells me daddy had to model for her.  Unforunately, we have no equally embarrassing picture of Jon, though I doubt he would have been so gullible as to dress up as a stag for the entire world to see.

   Chris, why exactly were you using your mouth for Jenga? Showing off? Or is there some rule I have missed?
